Bilstein 5100 Series Update '05-'10

Replied to PM.

 

Sent you a follow-up PM.

 

Called Marco today got mine in the mail by 5pm......AWESOME!!! I cant wait to get them on. THANKS MARCO!!!

 

Marco is THE MAN!

 

Mine were delivered yesterday. Thanks DSM!

 

Thank you for the nice words, guys!

So an update on the availability. We are still out of rear shocks. No solid ETA on when we'll get any, but you can bet we are working very hard to get our hands on more inventory.

As for front shocks, the availability is day to day. We have been getting them in small amounts of 6-10 shocks at a time, and they go fast. If you need a set of just fronts, I recommend you call us after 9AM Pacific at the 888# on the site, and check availability. If we have them, we'll take your order and get them out the door.

Again our thanks to all on TW for your support! And as always we are available for any questions you may have, whether you purchase from us or not.

Thank you,
Marco

 

Mine got here today, thanks Marco!

 

X2 .. Marco is the MAN!!!!!!

 

got mine in the mail today.

they look beautiful. rears first, then fronts.
gotta find a time to coordinate with a local shop to get the springs swapped to the new shocks.

 

Marco,
I told you i'd be one of the "thank you Marco" guys. FINALLY!!! Cant wait to get the 5100's, according to USPS website they'll be here monday the 1st

 

Just got done installing mine today! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RIDE!!!! Just have to wait to really drive my truck other than back from the autocraft shop till Monday. Rear TSB being done = FREE ALIGNMENT!!!

 

What are setting are you using with only the rear TSB?

 

I believe the general consensus on this is 1.75"

 

I have them at 2.5 for now. But in the mail I have the Toytec 1.5 AAL will be here Monday. Good thing to work on when I get off of work. I also have a 1/4" spacer for the front in the package to give me a full 3". I plan on running 285/75/16's with my 16x9 Procomp 7089's. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

 

I too plan on setting mine to 1.75". I actually got 1.5" of lift in the rear, so I'll probably still be sitting a bit higher in the rear than most. Course, the springs have yet to settle.

 

yeah i'm still waiting on a full set all the way around...probably be this summer before they come in lmao

 

So I installed my Billy's yesturday, I love the ride quality by the way, but I had a question about the rears. The protective covering over the moveable parts, doesn't sit perfectly. Sits as if it is too long for the strut when under load of the truck wieght. Does anyone else have this problem? No big deal, just wondering.

 

I was wondering about something similar.

Are the dust covers (whatever that black plastic thing on the shocks) really necessary on the front shocks? I really like the way it looks without it..

 

i personally would leave them on..helps keep the piston and pistons seals from getting heavily soiled and causing premature failure

 

hi dsm guys,
am i good to call and place an order, or should i wait til any stock arrives?
thx
